I do love the AW hub. You got me curious to give it yet another try. But I consider you a better cyclist than I, and I think it's easier for you to change your cadence than for me. Changing my cadence more than X% requires me to spend more energy, making it harder to keep up with you.

But I'm game to try it on a flat ride. There's a lot of pleasure in shifting the hub. I also like the ticking while pedaling. And the shifting while coasting or stopped.
